Application filed February 15,1905. Serial No. 245,795.

I?) 11 lr/mnt if may (mite/"Pit:

Be it known that I, James C. CHADWIUK, a 1 citizen of the United States, and a resident of Englewood. in the county of Bergen and State of New Jersey, have invented a new 3 and Improved Receptacle-Closure, of which the following is a full. clear, and exact de l scription.

This invention relates to improvements in i closures for receptacles for tooth-powder or l the like and of that class having a discharge- 1 opening at one side In closures of the above-mentioned type the top wall or plate is located considerably above the upper wall of the discharge-opcning, and when such receptacle is tilted a certain amount of powder passes into the space between said top wall or plate and the out- 1 let, so that upon the initial movement of rel turning the receptacle to a vertical position this surplus powder or a portion of it will pass out through the opening, thus not only supplying more powder than is required, but l resulting in waste.

It is the object ofmy invention to provide a closure of simple construction by the use of i which the exact amount of powder will be discharged, thus resulting in an economical 1 use of powder.

I will describe a receptacle-closure em- 1 bodying my invention and then point out the novel features in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompairving drawings, forming a part of this specilh cation, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a perspective view of a receptacle and closure therefor embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view thereof on the line a of Fig. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3/ 3/ of Fig. 2, and Fig. i is a section showing a modification.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a receptacle of any suitable materialsuch, for instance, as glass or metal-and of any desired size. The closure comprises a metal member 2, which is fixed to the neck 3 of the receptacle. As here shown, the outer surface'of the neck is provided with an annular channel I. into which a portion of the memher 2 is swaged, as indicated at 5. The closure also comprises a member 6, a portion of which extends into the upper end of the member 2, so as to rotate therein, and to prevent the parts from being disconnected the l lower edge of the member 6 is flanged outward, as indicated at 7, to engage in an annular channel 8, formed in the member 2 just above the receptacle-neck.

[Each member is provided with a dischargeopcning designed to be moved into register when powder is to be poured out and to be turned out of register when the powder is not in use. The discharge-opening 9 of the meniber 2 is in the form of a slot extended circumferentially, and the outlet of the member 6 is also in the form of a slot, as indicated at 10.

To prevent the member 6 from moving too far with relation to the member 2, I provide the member 2 with an inwardl extended lug l l, which engages in a circuinferentiallydisposed slot 12, formed in the wall of the member 6. To permit the parts to be assembled-that is, to pass the member 6 into the member 2-the said member 6 has a slot 13, which extends downward from the slot l2 and is open at the bottom, thus permitting the. lug 'l l to pass into the slot 12. The

, rotary member carries a controlling-plate 14,

which extends entirely across the same, and the lower side of said plate is on a horizontal plane with the upper walls of the dischargeopenings, so that when the receptacle is tilted to discharge powder no part of the powder can lodge above the discharge-openings. In Fig. 2 this controlling-plate 14 is shown as arranged below a top plate 15 at the closure.

In Fig. -11; a controlling-plate 16 is formed. by depressing the upper end of the rotary member, this plate 16 of course being on a plane with the upper walls of the discharge openings.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A reccptacle-closure comprising a fixed member, a rotary member on the fixed member, each of said members having a discharge-opening at the side, and a controlling plate carried by the rotarymember on a plane with the top walls of the discharge-opening.

2. A receptacle-closurc comprising a fixed member having a circumferentially-disposed slot in its side wall, a rotary member having a circuml'erentially-rlisposed slot in its side wall, means for limiting the rotary movement of the rotary member with relation to the fixed member, and a controlling-plate car ried by the rotary member, the under side of said controlling-plate being on a plane with the top walls of the slot.
